onion是洋葱,但know your onions可不是说让你要了解洋葱


We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.
我们必须接受失望,因为它是有限的,但千万不可失去希望,因为它是无穷的。
know your onions
了解你所从事的事物,或对某事非常专业。
这个短语源于植物学,onion是洋葱,在植物学中,洋葱被认为是一种具有多个层次的植物,因此,“know your onions”就被用来形容对某事了解得非常深入。起初它可能只是一种俚语或口头禅,最早出现于19世纪。后来逐渐被广泛使用,常用于形容某人在某个领域非常专业,或用于提醒某人要对自己所从事的事物有充分的了解。
与之意思相近的短语还有:
have a finger on the pulse:对某个领域或世界有敏锐的洞察力。
be well-versed in something:对某个领域或知识有广博的了解和掌握。
